We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Miss Rose. We had the pleasure of spending time with her here at the Hart Park Senior Center in Wauwatosa where she joined us for lunch and various activities. She was a true joy and bright light. Our lives were certainly inspired and enriched by her brilliance and her trailblazing life journey, her kindness and her smile. She was never without a compliment and always made you feel special - a rare gift! Thank you for sharing her with us. Her presence was a gift that we will always cherish.

Rose and I met in 1955 at Conference Point Camp on Lake Geneva when the Young People's Chorus of the Milwaukee Urban League came by bus for their annual one-day visit. I was her hostess, and she was my delightful, animated, chatty guest! We bonded instantly! The group presented a marvelous concert in our camp chapel that night. Two years later, I was able to become part of that wonderful group and our friendship deepened. We shared good times, including picnics, beach events, concert presentations, and even a square dance. When I became engaged, Rose threw a fun-filled shower for me, with games and prizes and tasty food at her aunt's home. Years later, we reconnected, and she spent time with me in Texas. I count her as one of my dearest friends from the teen years to the present. I know she will be missed by many.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Rose at UWM and easily recall her infectious smile and kind nature. You could always count on Rose to brighten your dark days and share the joy of your good ones. Rose will always hold a special place in my heart.

An infectious smile was always ready to be shared with whomever she came in contact with. My ever ready girlfriend- " Rose, you wanna go--?" Her reply, "Sure, my baby!"
Will miss you until you awaken, my Rose, my girlfriend.

On behalf of my mom, Mary Ann Harris, my sister, Patrice, and myself, please accept our condolences. We are so deeply sorry for the passing of your mother. Rose became friends with my parents early on. She was always such a bright light and brought so much warmth and happiness to the entire HPS community, both residents and their families. She was a brilliant woman and exuded pure joy when talking about her love and adventures with your father. She was so proud of her children and talked about her visits with you. Residents are so incredibly saddened by her loss. She was so fortunate to have such a devoted caregiver in Jimmy. Rose was a gifted and beautiful human being.
What a profound loss for your family.
Sincerely,
Roberta Harris
